The problem with your comment is that it can be said about any criticism of anything new, regardless of whether it is objectively good or bad. Not every way of communicating and experiencing the world is psychologically equivalent. If my choice of "experiencing the world" is lying in bed and watching pictures on reddit for 50 years (let's say I'm rich), without going outside even once, and my idea of "having a relationship" is FB chat - It's likely that this is going to make me a very miserable person. There are limits to the amount of behavioural changes you can make without causing psychological damage. That's why there are actual studies on the matter: does Facebook make us feel good? Is it psychologically healthy? Some of those studies are mentioned in the article. A much better line of criticism would be to address those studies directly, rather than making very general comments that can be used to justify anything.
